Rock and Roll Method: Recommended time to clean and gas-free under normal circumstances would be 3-6 days ,for cleaning of double bottom tanks at sea.
1.First of all heat the remaining oil in tanks .
2.By stripping constantly. flush the tank with sea water,
3.Close all suction and discharge valves .
4.1stDose Fill the tanks by ½ to 1 litre RXSOL-20-2014-025 per tone of water through pipe or manhole, for 75-80% of capacity of tank to be cleaned.
5.Then fill tank to 25% capacity with sea water, raise the temperature up to 60°C maximum, and maintain this temperature for 24 hours.
6.Top up tank to 75-80% capacity with sea water, continue to heat for 48 to 72 hours.
7.Discharge and strip tank. Fill to 50-60% capacity with sea water and allow 2 hours rinsing time.
